Potato and Corn Pancakes

“These are so good! I like them with butter and honey! Serve as a side dish or a quick lunch. They go with anything. I also like to make them with pork chops with a little applesauce. This calls for the use of a food mill, fitted with a medium disk, and set over a large bow; I have a food mill, but I used a hand mixer. I did not include the standing time. If you don't have the creme fraiche, you may substitute sour cream, or equal portions of heavy cream and sour cream.”
